Item 2: Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
- --------------------------------------------
On April 16, 1997, Capitol Multimedia, Inc., (the "Company") sold selected
multimedia assets and stock to Davidson & Associates, Inc. (Davidson), a
California based CD-ROM edutainment and adult games software developer and
distributor, for approximately $2.5 million in cash. The assets that were sold
included the Company's art, animation and audio production capabilities located
in St. Petersburg, Russia and Concord, Massachusetts. The stock sold in the
transaction was all of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company's wholly
owned subsidiary, ZAO AMI in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Company retained all
rights to its 14 multimedia CD-ROM titles currently on the market, three new
CD-ROM titles that are near completion, all CD-I titles, all software tools and
engines, and business software development capabilities in the U.S. and Russia
The sales price of the assets sold was determined by arms length negotiations.
In determining an acceptable selling price for the assets, the Company
considered several methods of valuation, including; replacement cost; net asset
value; discounted cash flow of projected financial performance; the valuation of
recent similar acquisitions; comparable industry multiples; combined revenue and
earnings potential based on past and projected business; and the recent market
price for the Company's outstanding securities.
In conjunction with the Company's sale of multimedia assets to Davidson, Igor
Razboff will continue to serve as Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors,
but has resigned from his CEO position at the Company effective April 28, 1997,
to assume the position of Vice President of CUC Software, an affiliate of
Davidson. Mr. Razboff had been under contract to the Company through March 31,
1998

enforce any claim for indemnification which is less than $2,000 in value until
the aggregate of all individual claims for indemnification exceeds the amount of
$25,000.00 (the "Threshold"). Once claims in excess of the Threshold have been
asserted by the Buyer Parties , all claims, including those below the Threshold
amount, may be pursued by the parties asserting such claims except as otherwise

shall not have taken control of such suit within sixty (60) days after
notification thereof as provided in Section 7.6.
Section 7.5 DEFENSE OF THE CLAIMS. In connection with any claim giving
rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal
proceeding by a person other than the Buyer or the Seller, the indemnifying
party, at its sole cost and expense, upon written notice to the party seeking
indemnification, may assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding
without prejudice to the right of the indemnifying party thereafter to contest
its obligation to indemnify the party seeking indemnification in respect of the
claims asserted therein. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any
such claim or legal proceeding, the indemnifying party shall select counsel to
conduct the defense of such claims or legal proceedings and at its sole cost and
expense shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The
indemnifying party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any
judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, without the prior
written consent of the party seeking indemnification, unless the indemnifying
party admits in writing its liability
18
<PAGE> 25
to hold the party seeking indemnification harmless from and against any and all
losses, damages, expenses and liabilities arising out of such settlement and
concurrently with such settlement the indemnifying party pays into court the
full amount of all losses, damages, expenses and liabilities to be paid by the
indemnifying party in connection with such settlement. The party seeking
indemnification shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the
defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. The
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any action
by the party seeking indemnification, which participation shall be limited to
contributing information to the defense and being advised of its status. If the
indemnifying party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation
resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof, the party seeking
indemnification may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it
may deem appropriate, including without limitation settling such claim or
litigation, after giving notice of the same to the indemnifying party, on such
terms as the party seeking indemnification may deem appropriate.
Section 7.6 NOTICE. The Buyer and the Seller agree that in the event
of any occurrence which may give rise to a claim of indemnification hereunder,
the party seeking indemnification will give notice thereof to the parties in
accordance with Section 10.6 within the later of thirty (30) days of such
occurrence, or five (5) days after the party seeking indemnification discovers
such occurrence.
Section 7.7 WAIVER. The Buyer and the Seller agree that they will not
waive any statute of limitations or defense that would increase the liability of
any of the parties hereto without the written consent of such parties.
Section 7.8 MATERIALITY. The parties agree that for all purposes of
this Agreement, unless specifically stated to the contrary, the dollar amounts
set forth in various provisions hereof, other than the Purchase Price, shall not
affect or determine the meaning of the term "material" or have any bearing
thereon.
Section 7.9 SURVIVAL. The covenants, agreements, warranties and
representations entered into or made pursuant to this Agreement, the other
Transaction Documents and any other document, list, exhibit or instruments
furnished in connection herewith or therewith shall be continuing and shall
survive the Closing for a period co-extensive with the statute of limitations

as specified in Section 7.4

---------------------

mean Employer's material violation of its contractual obligations hereunder and
Employer's failure to cure such violation within fifteen (15) days after written
notice from Employee specifying such violation. Termination by Employee under
this Section 4.1.1 shall not be deemed a breach of this Employment Agreement by
Employee hereunder, but shall be deemed a breach by Employer hereunder.
4.1.2 Upon written notice to Employee, Employer shall be entitled
to terminate the Employment Term for Cause. Cause with respect to Employee shall
mean (i) conviction of Employee of a felony involving moral turpitude or
otherwise affecting or relating to the business of Employer (including without
limitation his entering of any plea of nolo contendere in connection with any
such felony proceeding); (ii) Employee's willful acts resulting in material
damage to Employer or Employer's business reputation (including without
limitation his material breach of any of the provisions of the Covenant Not to
Compete dated April , 1997 or of his Proprietary Information Agreement with
Employer); (iii) Employee's failure or neglect to obey the good faith directions
of the Board of Directors of Employer after expiration of a twenty (20) day
period after written notice specifying the nature of such failure or neglect,
during which Employee failed to cure the breach; (iv) any other act or omission
deemed cause under the law of the State of Massachusetts; or (v) the good faith
determination of the Board of Directors that Employee is performing his duties
in a manner which is not commensurate with reasonable standards for employees in
similar circumstances and with similar duties to those of Employee hereunder
("Substandard Performance"); provided that Employee may not be terminated for
Substandard Performance unless and until (a) the Board of Directors has provided
Employee with notice of Substandard Performance, which notice specifies with
particularity the areas of Substandard Performance and the action needed to cure
same, (b) Employee is given at least thirty (30) days (the "Cure Period") to
improve his performance in the specified areas, (c) the Board of Directors
determines after the Cure Period that Employee is still providing Substandard
Performance in the specified areas

(or new areas of Substandard Performance) and (d) the Board then provides its
written notice to Employee of its determination to terminate his employment
forthwith.
4.2 TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. Upon written notice to the other,
either party may terminate the Employment Term without cause for any reason, by
giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such termination to the
other. In the case of Employee the right to give notice of such a termination
shall begin only after a date six (6) months from the effective date of this
Employment Agreement, it being understood that Employee's right to do so shall
give rise to no obligation on the part of Employer to pay any severance benefits
as specified in Section 4.4 below. If Employer determines not to extend
Employee's employment past the term of this Employment Agreement, a minimum of
six (6) months notice shall be given to Employee. The requirement of thirty (30)
days notice shall not, however, apply to the termination of Employee's
employment for Cause under Section 4.1 above. Should Employer terminate
Employee's employment during the Employment Term for any reason other than for
Cause, Employer shall become entitled to certain severance benefits as specified
in Section 4.4 below for services rendered prior to such termination.
4.3 DEATH OR DISABILITY. This Employment Agreement shall automatically
terminate, without notice, upon the death or permanent disability of Employee.
For purposes of this Section 4.3, Employee shall be deemed to be permanently
disabled if he shall be unable, due to illness or injury, to perform his duties
hereunder for eighty percent (80%) or more of the full regular business days
during any three (3) consecutive month period. Employee shall be deemed to be
permanently disabled on the last day of such three (3) month period.
4.4 SEVERANCE BENEFITS. Employee shall be entitled to receive the
severance benefits specified below in the event Employee's employment with
Employer should be terminated by Employer for any reason other than for Cause
(as defined in Section 4.1 above) during the Employment Term.

salary continuation payments, at the Base Salary in effect under Paragraph 3.1

from the date of termination or the number of months remaining in the Employment
term. Such salary continuation payments shall be paid semimonthly and shall be
subject to all applicable withholding requirements.
4.4.2 Employee shall be eligible for a pro-rated portion of his
annual bonus for the period of salary continuation referenced in 4.4.1 above in
accordance with the achievement of the goals referenced in 3.4 above.

<PAGE> 33
first date that Employee and his eligible dependents are covered under another
employer's health benefit program without exclusion for any pre-existing medical
condition. Such coverage shall be in lieu of all rights Employee and his
dependents may otherwise have under Internal Revenue Code Section 4980B to
receive such coverage for a longer period but at their own expense.
4.4.4 OTHER INSURANCE COVERAGE. Employee shall be provided,
without charge, continued insurance coverage under Paragraph 3.2 for a period of

duration, geographical coverage or substantive scope, such provision shall be
deemed narrowed to the broadest term permitted by applicable law.

provision of this Employment Agreement by the other shall not operate or be

COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE
THIS COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE (this "Covenant") is made and entered into
as of the day of April 28, 1997 by and between (i) Davidson & Associates, Inc.,
a California corporation ("Davidson"), and (ii) Igor Razboff ("Razboff"), an
individual residing in Massachusetts and the Chairman and CEO of Capitol
Multimedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Capitol"), with respect to the
following:
RECITALS
The following provisions are made a part of and form the basis for this
Covenant:
A. Concurrently herewith, (i) Capitol is selling to Davidson certain
assets in exchange for the consideration set forth in, and in accordance with
the other terms and conditions of, that certain Asset and Stock Purchase
Agreement dated April 16, 1997, by and among Davidson and Capitol (the
"Agreement"), and (ii) Davidson and Razboff are entering into an employment
agreement dated April 28, 1997 whereby Davidson will employ Razboff as Vice
President of CUC Software and Chairman of Animation Magic ("Employment
Agreement").
B. An important factor in Davidson's decision to enter into the
Agreement is Razboff's covenant not to be involved, for a specified period of
time, in any business that competes with the business as conducted by the
portions of Capitol purchased by Davidson and Davidson or its successors. But
for Razboff's agreement to execute this Covenant, Davidson would not have
entered into the Agreement or the related transactions.
C. Razboff is executing and delivering this Covenant in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the covenants,
conditions, representations, and agreements contained in the Agreement, and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, Razboff covenants and agrees with Davidson as follows:
1. Non-Competition.
---------------
A. Subject to the terms of the Covenant and Razboff's continued
role as Chairman of Capitol, Razboff agrees that, for a period commencing on the
date hereof and (i) continuing for three (3) years should Razboff choose to
terminate his employment with Davidson prior to the expiration date of the
Employment Agreement or if neither
<PAGE> 36
party chooses to continue Razboff's employment past the expiration date of the
Employment Agreement or if Razboff is terminated by Davidson for cause during
the term of the Employment Agreement or, (ii) for a period of one (1) year,
should Razboff's employment be terminated by Davidson without cause during the
term of the Employment Agreement or should Razboff remain employed for any
period of time past the date of his Employment Agreement (the "Covenant
Period"), Razboff shall not directly or indirectly (whether for compensation or
otherwise) own, manage, operate or control, or join or participate in the
ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be
connected in any manner with, any Competing Business (as hereinafter defined)
that is located in or doing business in the Designated Regions (as hereinafter
defined), either as a general or limited partner, proprietor, common or
preferred shareholder, officer, director, agent, employee, consultant, trustee,
affiliate, or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Covenant shall be construed
to prohibit Razboff from (i) continuing to hold his shares in Capitol and act as
its Chairman as long as he devotes no more than five (5) hours per week to such
a role and otherwise devotes his full time and energy to his employment by
Davidson in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Employment
Agreement; (ii) purchasing or owning, as a passive investment, up to two percent
(2%) of the issued and outstanding shares of any publicly traded class of
securities of any corporation engaged in any business described above, provided
that Razboff does not render any advice of any kind to the management of such
corporation or actively participate in or control, directly or indirectly, any
activities of such corporation or otherwise participate in its business or
operations; (iii) acting as a passive investor of less than 20% of the total
assets in any company through a blind pool or independently managed investment
vehicle such as a venture capital partnership.
B. During the Covenant Period irrespective of Razboff's employment
with Davidson or its affiliates, Razboff will not use his status with Davidson,
CUC Software or any of its affiliates to obtain loans, goods or services from
another organization on terms that would not be available to him in the absence
of his relationship to Davidson or any of its affiliates.
C. During the Covenant Period, Razboff without express written
approval from the Board of Directors of Davidson, will not (i) solicit any
customers of Davidson or CUC Software for or on behalf of any Competing Business
as hereinafter defined or (ii) persuade or attempt to persuade any customer,
supplier, contractor or any other person or party to cease doing business with
Davidson or CUC Software or to reduce the amount of business it does with
Davidson or CUC Software.
D. During the Covenant Period, Razboff will not knowingly solicit
or induce any person who is an employee of Davidson or CUC Software to terminate
any such relationship such person may have with Davidson or CUC Software as then
currently configured nor shall Razboff during such period directly or indirectly
offer employment to or compensate or cause or permit any person with which
Razboff may be affiliated to offer employment to or compensate, any employee of
Davidson, or CUC Software, or any person who had been employed by Davidson or
CUC Software within sixty (60) days of
2
<PAGE> 37
such offer or compensation. Razboff hereby represents and warrants that Razboff
has not entered into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with any
employee of Davidson or CUC Software pertaining to any business in which Razboff
has participated or plans to participate, or to the employment, engagement or
compensation of any such employee.
2. COMPETING BUSINESS DEFINED. For the purposes of this Covenant,
"Competing Business" shall mean any business other than Davidson which is
competitive with the portion of the business of Davidson represented by the
assets purchased and licensed under the Agreement (the "Business"), including
without limitation any business which distributes, develops or markets
multimedia consumer computer software for the entertainment or children's
education markets. The parties acknowledge and agree that Davidson has been and
Davidson will continue to be engaged in the Business and that Davidson is
acquiring the assets of Capitol so that Davidson may further pursue and expand
such business. The parties further acknowledge that subject to the limitations
contained in the Agreement the assets of Capitol and its subsidiaries, not
purchased by Davidson, including, without limitation, the assets related to its
currently existing or partially developed multimedia software products, its
software development capability and its supply chain management business, shall
not constitute a Competing Business as defined hereunder.
3. DESIGNATED REGIONS DEFINED; RELATED ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. For purposes
of this Covenant, "Designated Regions" shall mean all counties, cities, states
and countries throughout the world in which Davidson distributes its products.
Razboff hereby acknowledges and agrees that Davidson has heretofore conducted
Business in various places throughout the world, and that any Competing Business
throughout the world in such places shall be competitive with the Business.
Razboff also expressly agrees that, should a court of competent jurisdiction
determine that the Designated Regions are broader than may be permitted under
applicable law, such court shall nevertheless enforce this Covenant in the
broadest geographical areas permitted by such applicable law as provided under
Section 9 of this Covenant.
4. EQUITABLE REMEDIES. Razboff hereby acknowledges and agrees that
the obligations under this Covenant are such that Davidson cannot adequately be
compensated by damages for breach of such obligations. As a result, Razboff
hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened
breach of this Covenant, Davidson shall be entitled not only to damages or other
relief at law but also to seek equitable relief to enforce the breached
obligations, including, without limitation, specific performance and preliminary
and permanent injunctive relief (including temporary restraining orders).
5. BINDING AGREEMENT. This covenant and all its terms, provisions,
and conditions shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party to
the Covenant and his or its respective successors and permitted assigns, it
being agreed that only an
3
<PAGE> 38
express written termination and waiver of this covenant by Davidson can relieve
Razboff of his personal obligations hereunder.
6. COST AND EXPENSES. If either party to this Covenant brings an
action against the other party to this Covenant to enforce his or its rights
under this Covenant, or for a determination thereof, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover his or its reasonable costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred in connection
with such action, including any appeal of such action.
7. APPLICABLE LAW. This Covenant shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the law of such
other state of the United States of America in which Razboff, at the time of an
asserted breach hereof, shall be involved, or propose or plan to be involved, in
a substantial or material manner with any Competing Business in the manner
described in Section 1 hereof, whichever such laws shall permit the broadest
possible enforcement of the provisions of the Covenant.
8. CAPTIONS. The Section headings and captions contained in this
Covenant are for reference purposes and convenience only and shall not in any
way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Covenant.
9. ENFORCEABILITY. If any provision of this Covenant shall be
determined, under applicable law, to be overly broad in duration, geographical
coverage, substantive scope, or otherwise, such provision shall be deemed
narrowed to the broadest term permitted by applicable law and shall be enforced
as so narrowed. If any provision of this Covenant nevertheless shall be
unlawful, void, or unenforceable, it shall be deemed severable from and shall in
no way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Covenant.
10. CONSIDERATION. Razboff has been compensated for the covenants
provided herein by, among other things, the execution of Razboff's employment
agreement with Davidson and performance thereof by Davidson.
11. NOTICE. Any notices hereunder shall be deemed to be properly given
if provided to Razboff in the manner provided in the Agreement.
12. WAIVER. The waiver by either party to this Covenant of a breach of
any provision of the Covenant by the other party to this Covenant shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same
provision or of any other provision of this Covenant.
13. AMENDMENT. This Covenant may be altered, amended, or terminated
only by an instrument in writing executed by both parties hereto.
4
<PAGE> 39
14. COUNTERPARTS. This Covenant may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Davidson and Razboff have caused this Covenant to be
duly executed as of the date set forth above.

EXHIBIT C
---------
DAVIDSON & ASSOCIATES, INC.
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AGREEMENT
In consideration of my hiring by Davidson & Associates, Inc. ("Company")
as a full-time employee thereof and the compensation now and hereafter paid to
me, I agree to the terms and conditions contained within this Proprietary
Information Agreement ("Proprietary Agreement") herein below:
1. Maintaining Confidential Information
------------------------------------
a. COMPANY INFORMATION. I agree at all times, both during and after
the termination of my employment for any reason whatsoever (whether with or
without cause), to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use or to disclose
or make accessible to any person or entity, without the prior written
authorization of the Board of Directors of Company, any trade secrets whenever
received, confidential knowledge, data or other proprietary information relating
to products, processes, know-how, designs, formulas, developmental or
experimental work, computer programs, data bases, other original works of
authorship, customer lists, employee information, business plans, financial
information or other subject matter pertaining to any business of Company or any
of its affiliates, clients, consultants, licensees or licensors (collectively,
"Company Information"). I agree that Company may in its reasonable discretion
list specific information as being Company Information from time to time and I
will acknowledge any such listings in writing upon request. The fact that any
specific information is listed as Company Information will not in any way impair
Company's right to claim that any other information constitutes Company
Information. I understand that Company Information shall be solely owned by
Company, its successors and assigns, and that I may use Company Information
solely for the benefit of Company as directed by Company. I agree not to
reproduce or remove from Company's premises originals or copies of any notes,
data, reference materials, sketches, drawings, memoranda, documentation or
records owned by the Company except as is necessary to fulfill my duties to the
Company or as otherwise authorized by Company. I agree to take whatever steps
are reasonably necessary to preserve the confidentiality of any and all Company
Information I have received or do receive by virtue of my employment with
Company at the Company's expense.
b. FORMER EMPLOYER INFORMATION. I agree that I will not during my
employment with Company, use or disclose any confidential or proprietary
information or trade secrets of my former or concurrent employers or companies,
if any, and that I will not bring onto the premises of Company any unpublished
document or any property belonging to my former or concurrent employers or
companies, if any, unless consented to in writing by said employers or
companies.
<PAGE> 42
c. THIRD PARTY INFORMATION. I recognize that Company has received and
in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary
information subject to a duty on Company's part to maintain the confidentiality
of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. I
understand and agree that such information is the sole property of such third
parties and that I owe Company and such third parties, both during the term of
my employment and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or
proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to
any person or entity (except as necessary in carrying out my work for Company
consistent with Company's agreement with such third party) or to use it for the
benefit of anyone other than for Company or such third party (consistent with
Company's agreement with such third party) without the express written
authorization of the Board of Directors of Company and the governing body of
such third party.
d. EXCEPTIONS. My obligations under this Section shall not apply to
information which: (i) I can clearly demonstrate is previously known or becomes
generally known other than through my acts in violation of this Proprietary
Agreement; or (ii) is required to be disclosed by administrative or judicial
action provided that immediately after receiving notice of such action I will
notify Company of such action to give Company the opportunity to seek any other
legal remedies to maintain such Confidential Information in confidence; or (iii)
information I can demonstrate was developed independently of any Company
Disclosure of Company Information; or (iv) information I received from a third
party free of any obligations to the Company.
2. Disclosing and Assigning Inventions and Original Works
------------------------------------------------------
a. PRIOR INVENTIONS AND ORIGINAL WORKS. I have attached hereto, as
Schedule A, a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship,
developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by me prior to
February 1, 1996, which belong to me alone or jointly with others, which relate
to Company's proposed business, in developing, publishing and distributing
educational and entertainment software products (the "Company's Business"), and
which are not assigned to Company; if no such list is attached, I represent that
there are no such inventions, works of authorship, developments, improvements or
trade secrets.
b. INVENTIONS AND ORIGINAL WORKS ASSIGNED TO COMPANY. Subject to the
terms and conditions of the Covenant Not To Compete dated April 28, 1997, I
agree that I will promptly make full written disclosure to Company, will hold in
trust for the sole right and benefit of Company, and I hereby assign to Company
all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions (and patent
rights with respect thereto), original works of authorship (including all
copyrights with respect thereto), developments, improvements or trade secrets
which I may solely or jointly conceive that relate to the business of Company
and (i) discuss with Company; (ii) reduce to an outline or treatment or develop
or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived and reduced to a treatment
and/or discussed with Company or developed or reduced to practice, during the
period of time I am in the employ of Company. I acknowledge and agree that the
business of the
2
<PAGE> 43
Company will likely change and its scope may be expanded during the period of
time I am in the employ of Company.
c. WORKS FOR HIRE. I acknowledge that all original works of
authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope
of my employment and which are protectible by copyright are "works made for
hire," as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 USCA,
Section 101) and that I am an employee as defined under that Act. To the extent
that all or any part of such work product does not qualify as a "work made for
hire" under applicable law, I without further compensation therefor do hereby
irrevocably assign, transfer and convey in perpetuity to Company and its
successors and assigns the entire worldwide right, title, and interest in and to
any work product including, without limitation, all patent rights, copyrights,
mask work rights, trade secret rights and other proprietary rights therein. Such
assignment includes the transfer and assignment to Company and its successors
and assigns of any and all moral rights which I may have in any work product. I
acknowledge and understand that moral rights include the right of an author: (i)
to be known as the author of a work; (ii) to prevent others from being named as
the author of the works; (iii) to prevent others from falsely attributing to an
author the authorship of a work which he/she has not in fact created; (iv) to
prevent others from making deforming changes in an author's work; (v) to
withdraw a published work from distribution if it no longer represents the views
of the author; and (vi) to prevent others from using the work or the author's
name in such a way as to reflect on his/her professional standing. I further
agree from time to time to execute written transfers to Company of ownership of
specific original works of authorship (and all copyrights therein) made by me
(solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment which may,
despite the preceding sentence, be deemed by a court of law not to be works made
for hire, and which are being assigned by me to Company pursuant to this
Proprietary Agreement in such form as is acceptable to Company in its reasonable
discretion.
d. INVENTIONS ASSIGNED TO THE UNITED STATES. I agree to assign to the
United States government all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all
inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements or trade
secrets whenever such full title is required to be in the United States by a
contract between Company and the United States or any of its agencies, provided
I have been advised in writing prior to creation of such works that same is
required.
e. OBTAINING LETTERS PATENT AND COPYRIGHT REGISTRATIONS. I agree to
assist Company at Company's expense to obtain United States or foreign letters
patents and copyright registrations (as well as any transfers of ownership
thereof) covering inventions and original works of authorship assigned hereunder
to Company. Such obligation shall continue beyond the termination of my
employment, but Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate for time
actually spent by me at Company's request on such assistance after such
termination. If Company is unable for any reason whatsoever, including my mental
or physical incapacity, to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any
application for any United States for foreign letters patent or copyright
registrations (or on
3
<PAGE> 44
any document transferring ownership thereof) covering inventions or original
works of authorship assigned to Company under this Proprietary Agreement, I
hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company and its duly authorized
officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my
behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and documents and to
do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of
letters patent or copyright registrations or transfers thereof with the same
legal force and effect as if executed by me, provided however, that Company has
notified me of its intention to do so in writing. This appointment is coupled
with an interest in and to the inventions and work of authorship and shall
survive my death or disability. I hereby waive and quitclaim to Company any and
all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for
infringement of any patents or copyright resulting from or relating to any such
application for letters patent or copyright registrations assigned hereunder to
Company.
3. Returning Company Documents
---------------------------
I agree that, at the time of leaving the employ of Company (or at any
prior time at the request of Company), I will deliver to Company ( and will not
keep in my possession or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records,
data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications,
drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or
property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items belonging to Company, its
successors or assigns. In the event of the termination of my employment, I agree
to sign and deliver the "Termination Certification" attached hereto as Schedule
B.
4. Representations
---------------
I agree to execute any proper oath or verify any proper document required
to carry out the terms of this Proprietary Agreement. I represent that my
performance of all the terms of this Proprietary Agreement and of my employment
with Company will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary
information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by
Company. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, either
during or after termination of my employment with Company, any oral or written
agreement in conflict herewith.
5. Injunctive Relief
-----------------
I agree that it would be difficult to measure the damage to Company from
any breach by me of the covenants set forth in Sections 1, 2, 3 or 4 herein,
that injury to Company from any such breach would be impossible to calculate,
and that money damages would therefore be an inadequate remedy for any such
breach. Accordingly, I agree that if I breach Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 or any of
them, Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies it may have,
to immediate injunctions or other appropriate orders to restrain any such
breach.
4
<PAGE> 45
6. General Provisions
------------------
a. GOVERNING LAW. This Proprietary Agreement will be governed by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable to contracts between
residents of Massachusetts which are wholly executed and performed in
Massachusetts.
b. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Proprietary Agreement sets forth the entire
agreement and understanding between Company and me relating to the subject
matter herein and merges all prior discussions between us. No modification of or
amendment to this Proprietary Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this
Proprietary Agreement, will be effective unless in writing signed by the party
to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or
compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Proprietary
Agreement. This Proprietary Agreement is not intended to limit any rights that
Company may have under any other agreement or at law with respect to inventions,
original works or authorship, trade secrets or other proprietary rights.
c. ENFORCEABILITY. If any provisions of this Proprietary Agreement
shall be determined, under applicable law, to be overly broad in duration,
geographical coverage, substantive scope, or otherwise, such provisions shall be
deemed narrowed to the broadest term permitted by applicable law and shall be
enforced as so narrowed. If any provision of this Proprietary Agreement
nevertheless shall be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, it shall be deemed
severable from and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Covenant.
d. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Proprietary Agreement will be binding
upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and
will be for the benefit of Company, its successors, and its assigns.

e. EXPENSES. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding between
myself and Company arising out of or related to this Proprietary Agreement shall
be entitled to recover from the other party all of its costs and expense
including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in connection
with such action or any appeal of such action.

Exhibit E to the Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
Beginning on the 16 day of April 1997, Capitol Multimedia, Inc. ("Contractor")
agrees to provide certain named individuals to perform services for Davidson &
Associates, Inc. ("Davidson") pursuant to the following terms and conditions:
1. Acting as an independent contractor, Contractor will provide the services
of the individuals named in Exhibit A (these individuals being collectively
referred to hereinafter as the "Service Providers") who will render their
services as stated in Exhibit A ("Services"). It is expressly agreed by the
parties that such individuals will be employed by Contractor in its own name,
and at its own risk and expense. Such employees of Contractor shall have no
claim against Davidson for salaries, commission, or other items of income, cost,
or expense. Contractor and the Service Providers will take direction from and
report to Igor Razboff. Contractor will use its best efforts to maintain the
employment of the Service Providers, including diligent attention to immigration
documentation and related materials. Contractor will immediately notify Davidson
of any event which may affect Contractor's ability to continue to provide the
services of any of the Service Providers on a long-term basis.
2. In consideration for providing the services of the Service Providers,
Contractor will receive from Davidson a fee which is payable in accordance with
Exhibit A.
3. Contractor understands that neither it nor the Service Providers is
authorized to incur any expenses on behalf of Davidson without prior written
consent, and all statements for the Services and expenses shall be in the form
prescribed by Davidson and shall be approved by Igor Razboff.
4. Davidson has the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement
for any reason with seven (7) days prior written notice. In the event of such a
termination, Davidson's sole obligation will be to pay Contractor, pro rata, for
the Services which shall have been provided as of that date by the Service
Providers. Davidson will have no further obligation, whether financial or
otherwise, including but not limited to obligations to the Service Providers,
and Contractor's employment obligations and expenses described in Paragraph 1
above, to Contractor after such cancellation. Davidson may terminate this
Agreement immediately upon Contractor's refusal or inability to perform under,
or Contractor's breach of, any provision of this Agreement.
5. Contractor will not, either during or subsequent to the term of this
Agreement, directly or indirectly disclose any information designated as
confidential by Davidson; nor will Contractor disclose to anyone other than a
Davidson employee or use in any way other than in the course of the performance
of this Agreement any information regarding Davidson, including but not limited
to Davidson's product, market, financial or other plans, product designs and any
other information not known to the general public whether acquired or developed
by Contractor during performance of this Agreement or obtained from Davidson
employees; nor will Contractor, either during or subsequent to the term of this
Agreement, directly or indirectly disclose or publish any such information
without prior written authorization from Davidson to do so. Unless otherwise
specifically agreed to in writing, all information about and relating to
projects under development by Davidson and/or parties doing work under contract
to Davidson including the Services rendered hereunder by Contractor shall be
considered confidential information. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that all
of the foregoing information is proprietary to Davidson, that such information
is a valuable and unique asset of Davidson, and that disclosure of such
information to third parties or unauthorized use of such information would cause
substantial and irreparable injury to Davidson's ongoing business for which
there would be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of any
breach or attempted or threatened breach of any of the terms of this Paragraph
5, Contractor agrees that Davidson shall be entitled to seek injunctive and
other equitable relief, without limiting the applicability of any other
remedies.
6. Contractor will return to Davidson any Davidson property that has come into
its possession during the term of this Agreement, when and as requested to do so
by Davidson and in all events upon termination of Contractor's engagement
hereunder, unless Contractor receives written authorization from Davidson to
keep such property.
7. As part of this Agreement, and without additional compensation, Contractor
acknowledges and agrees that any and all tangible and intangible property and
work products, ideas, inventions, discoveries and improvements, whether or not
patentable, which are conceived/developed/created/obtained or first reduced to
practice by Contractor for Davidson in connection with the performance of the
Services (collectively referred to as the "Work Product"), including, without
limitation, all technical notes, schematics, software source and object code,
prototypes, breadboards, computer models, artwork, sketches, designs, drawings,
paintings, illustrations, computer generated artwork, animations, video, film,
artistic materials, photographs and any film from
================================================================================
DAVIDSON & ASSOCIATES, INC. PSA AGREEMENT (revised 1/97) Page 1

<PAGE> 51
which the photographs were made, literature, methods, processes, voice
recordings, vocal performances, narrations, spoken word recordings and unique
character voices, shall be considered "works made for hire" and therefore all
right, title and interest therein (including, without limitation, patents and
copyrights) shall vest exclusively in Davidson. To the extent that all or any
part of such Work Product does not qualify as a "work made for hire" under
applicable law, Contractor without further compensation therefor does hereby
irrevocably assign, transfer and convey in perpetuity to Davidson and its
successors and assigns the entire worldwide right, title, and interest in and to
the Work Product including, without limitation, all patent rights, copyrights,
mask work rights, trade secret rights and other proprietary rights therein. Such
assignment includes the transfer and assignment to Davidson and its successors
and assigns of any and all moral rights which Contractor may have in the Work
Product. Contractor acknowledges and understands that moral rights include the
right of an author: to be known as the author of a work; to prevent others from
being named as the author of the works; to prevent others from falsely
attributing to an author the authorship of a work which it has not in fact
created; to prevent others from making deforming changes in an author's work; to
withdraw a published work from distribution if it no longer represents the views
of the author; and to prevent others from using the work or the author's name in
such a way as to reflect on his/her professional standing.
8. None of the Work Product is to be used by Contractor on any other project
or with any other client except with Davidson's written consent. If any part of
such Work Product is the work of a subcontractor employed by Contractor, then
Contractor will require such subcontractors to execute an assignment document in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B so as to secure for Davidson exclusive
ownership in such Work Product. In the event Contractor is unable to obtain
exclusive ownership from such subcontractors, Exhibit C must be signed to obtain
a license for the benefit of Davidson. Contractor shall promptly thereafter
deliver such originally executed assignment or license documents to Davidson.
9. With respect to all subject matter including ideas, processes, designs and
methods which Contractor discloses or uses in the performance of the Services:
a) Contractor warrants that Contractor has the right to make disclosure and use
thereof without liability or compensation to others; b) to the extent that
Contractor has patent applications, patents or other rights in the subject
matter, if any, Contractor hereby grants Davidson, its parent, subsidiaries,
affiliates and assigns, a royalty-free, irrevocable world-wide, non-exclusive
license to make, have made, sell, use and disclose such subject matter in any
form now or hereafter known, which is set forth in writing in Section 5 of
Exhibit A; and c) Contractor agrees to defend indemnify and hold Davidson
harmless from any claims, litigations, actions, damages or fees of any kind
(including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from Davidson's or Contractor's
use or disclosure of subject matter which Contractor knows or reasonably should
know others have rights in, except, however, for subject matter and the identity
of others having rights therein that Contractor discloses to Davidson in writing
before Davidson uses the subject matter.
10. It is understood and agreed that in performing the Services for Davidson
hereunder, Contractor shall act in the capacity of an independent contractor and
not as an employee or agent of Davidson. Contractor agrees that it shall not
represent itself as the agent or legal representative of Davidson for any
purpose whatsoever. When Contractor is working on the premises of Davidson,
Contractor shall observe the working hours, working rules, and security
procedures established by Davidson. No right or interest in this Agreement shall
be assigned by Contractor without the prior written permission of Davidson, and

LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
2.1 PREMISES AND TERM. Landlord leases to Tenant for the Term beginning on
the Beginning and Ending Dates in Section 1.1., and Tenant leases from Landlord,
the Premises together with the right to use with others subject to Landlord's
rules the common areas of the Building. Landlord reserves the right to install,
repair and relocate within the Premises pipes and other equipment, to make
additions to the Building and to relocate any common areas. IF Tenant occupies
any portion of the Premises prior to the Term Beginning Date, then the Term will
begin with such occupancy (and end on the Ending Date). Tenant accepts the
Premises in the condition they are now in, or may be in on the Commencement
Date, it being agreed that Landlord will have no obligation whatsoever except as
expressly set forth herein. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any
agent of Landlord has made any representations or warranties express or implied
concerning the Premises or this Lease. If Landlord is unable to deliver
possession due to a holding over or other cause beyond its reasonable control,
then Tenant's sole remedy will be a proportionate abatement of Annual Base Rent
and additional rent based on the area not delivered until the same is delivered;
and the terms of this Lease (including the Ending Date) will not otherwise be
affected.
2.2 LANDLORD WORK. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein
("Landlord's Work"), Landlord will not be required to perform any work in
connection with Tenant's occupancy of the Premises. Landlord shall:
1) Paint the Premises
2) Shampoo carpets
If Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Premises at the Term
Beginning Date, the Landlord shall not be liable for any damages caused thereby,
nor shall this lease be void or voidable, but the Commencement Date shall be
extended and no rent shall be due until Landlord delivers possession. Provided,
however, that notwithstanding the fact that the Commencement Date has been so
extended, the Term Ending Date shall remain the same and all the other terms and
conditions of this Lease, including, without limitation, all dates and time
periods contained herein, shall also remain as stated herein. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Landlord agrees that Landlord will deliver the Premises
substantially complete "or" substantial Completion" shall mean that Landlord's
improvements to the Premises as defined in Exhibit A have been completed with
the exception of minor punch list items which can be completed without
reasonable interference with the conduct of Tenant's business.
2.3 TENANT WORK. Tenant will be responsible for all work (other than
Landlord's Work, if any) including demolition, improvements and alterations, to
the Premises appropriate to Tenant's occupancy ("Tenant Work"), all of which is
subject to Landlord's prior written approval. No Tenant Work costing in excess
of $10,000 shall be done except in accordance with plans and specifications. The
identity of any contractor will also be subject to Landlord's prior written
approval. Tenant will procure all necessary governmental approvals and will
perform all Tenant Work in compliance with all applicable laws and in a
3
<PAGE> 67
LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
good and workmanlike manner. Tenant will require its contractors to maintain
insurance and provide lien waivers as reasonably required by Landlord.
3.1 ANNUAL BASE RENT. Tenant covenants to pay Annual Base Rent to Landlord
in advance in equal monthly installments prior to the first day of each calendar
month during the Term at the amount(s) per annum stated in Section 1.1. Tenant
will make ratable payment of Annual Base Rent for any portion of a year in which
the same accrues, all payments to be in current U.S. exchange at the Original
Address of Landlord or such other place as Landlord may by notice in writing to
Tenant direct, without demand, set-off or deduction whatsoever.
3.2 ADDITIONAL RENT - TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSES. Tenant covenants to pay
to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant's Percentage Share of Base Taxes and
Operating Expenses in excess of the Base Taxes and Operating Expenses Amount for
each calendar year of Landlord included in the Term; such amount to be paid in
monthly installments in advance on the first day of each month in amounts
reasonably estimated by Landlord, and with a final payment adjustment between
the parties within 14 days after Landlord provides Tenant a statement of Taxes
and Operating Expenses for the calendar year. (For periods less than a full
fiscal year at the beginning and end of the Term, such amounts will be
respectively pro-rated.)
"Taxes" means all taxes, assessments, betterments, excises, user fees and
other governmental charges or payments in lieu thereof or voluntary payments
made in connection with the provision of governmental services or improvements
of benefit, incurred with respect to the Building (including personal property
taxes) or upon Landlord, other than a federal or state income tax of general
application. Landlord's Taxes also includes reasonable expenses, including fees
of attorneys and appraisers, incurred in connection with efforts to obtain
abatements or to assure maintenance of Taxes, whether or not successful and
whether or not such efforts involve filing of actual abatement applications.
"Operating Expenses" means all costs paid or incurred in operating,
maintaining, managing and repairing the Building including: (i) supplies,
materials and labor costs (including indirect and fringe benefits); (ii)
utilities including Tenant's electricity charge in section 1.1 and services
(including gas, electricity, water, sewer, snow removal, trash removal,
landscaping and parking maintenance and repair) and any other cost described in
Section 5.1; (iii) casualty, liability and other insurance expenses (including
the amount of any deductible in the event of an insured loss); (iv) management
fees which do not exceed those customarily paid with respect to buildings in the
area similar to the Building, and fees for testing, licenses or permits; and (v)
rental or reasonable depreciation of equipment used in the operation of the
Building. In addition, if Landlord replaces any existing improvements or
equipment or installs any new improvements or equipment to the Building
(including energy conservation improvement that will directly benefit Tenant by
reducing operating expenses), then the cost of such items amortized over their
reasonable life together with an imputed interest rate at the level then being
charged by institutional first mortgagees for permanent first mortgage loans on
buildings similar to the Building will be included in Operating Expenses. Costs
will be
<PAGE> 68
LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
ascertained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
including allowance for reasonable reserves, and allocated to appropriate fiscal
periods on the accrual method of accounting. If less than all of the Building is
occupied by tenants, or if Landlord is not supplying all tenants with the
services being supplied hereunder, then Operating Expenses will be reasonably
extrapolated by Landlord to determine Operating Expenses which would have been
incurred if the Building were fully occupied for such year and/or such services
were being supplied to all tenants, and such extrapolated amount will be deemed
to be the Operating Expenses for such period.
4.1 TENANT'S COVENANTS. Tenant will do the following, all at its sole cost:
4.1.1 MAINTENANCE. The Tenant agrees to maintain the leased premises in
good condition, damage by fire and other casualty only excepted, and if damaged
resultant of Tenant's negligence, to replace plate glass and other glass
therein, acknowledging that the leased premises are now in good order and the
glass whole. The Tenant shall not permit the leased premises to be overloaded,
damaged, stripped, or defaced, nor suffer any waste.
4.1.2 USE AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Tenant will use the Premises
continuously only for the Permitted Uses and then only as permitted under
applicable laws, and will procure all governmental approvals. Tenant will keep
the Premises equipped with adequate safety appliances and comply with all
requirements of insurance rating bureaus. If Tenant's use of the Premises
results in any increase in the premium for any insurance carried by Landlord,
then upon notice Tenant will pay the same to Landlord as additional rent.
4.1.3 LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES. Tenant will within 10 days commence to and
within 30 days remove any lien, notice of contract or other encumbrance of
Landlord's property or Tenant's leasehold which arises for any reason,
voluntarily or involuntarily, specifically caused by acts or omissions of
Tenant, its employees, vendors, or invited guests.
4.1.4 INDEMNITY. Upon assuming control of Premises, Tenant will assume all
tort liabilities incident thereto; and Tenant will indemnify, save harmless and
defend Landlord and its trustees, beneficiaries, partners, mortgagees, officers,
directors, employees, agents, independent contractors, invitees and other
persons acting under Landlord ("Indemnitees") from all liability, claim or cost
(including reasonable attorneys' fees of counsel of an Indemnitee's choice
against whom Tenant makes no reasonable objection) arising in whole or in part
out of any injury, loss, theft or damage (unless such is due solely and directly
to the negligence of Landlord or its employees) to any person or property while
on or about the Premises or out of any condition within the Premises or out of
any breach of any Lease covenant or from any act or omission of Tenant or
persons claiming under Tenant (or any of their agents, employees, independent
contractors or invitees).
4.1.5 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO ENTER. Upon such notice if any as is reasonable
under the circumstances Landlord may enter the Premises for the purpose of
exercising any of its rights or protecting its property or of showing the
Premises to prospective purchasers or lenders,
<PAGE> 69
LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
and during the last 12 months of the Term to prospective tenants (and may keep
affixed notices for letting and selling). Except in an emergency, Landlord will
be subject in entering to reasonable security conditions, if any, set forth in
writing to Landlord by Tenant.
4.1.6 PERSONAL PROPERTY AT TENANT'S RISK. All of the furnishings, trade
fixtures, equipment, effects and property which during the occupancy by Tenant
(or persons claiming under Tenant) may be on the Premises or elsewhere on
Landlord's property, shall be at the sole risk of Tenant. Except to the extent
damage is caused solely and directly by the negligence of Landlord or its
employees, Landlord will not be liable for damage to person or property
sustained by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant.
4.1.7 OVERLOADING, NUISANCE, ETC. Tenant will not, either with or without
negligence, overload or otherwise damage Landlord's property or the Premises;
commit any nuisance; allow the release or other escape of any biologically or
chemically active or other toxic or hazardous substances so as to affect even
temporarily any element of Landlord's property or the Premises, or allow the
storage or use of such substances in any manner not sanctioned by law or by the
highest standards prevailing in the industry for the storage and use of such
substances; nor shall Tenant bring onto the Premises any such substances except
to use in the ordinary course of its business and then only after written notice
is given to Landlord of the identity of such substances; permit the occurrence
of objectionable noise or odors; or suffer any waste to Landlord's property or
the Premises. Hazardous substances include those described in any local, state
or federal law or regulations, including the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, the Massachusetts Hazardous Waste Management Act and the
Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release Prevention Act. Tenant will
execute affidavits from time to time at Landlord's request concerning Tenant's
knowledge of hazardous substances on the Premises or Landlord's property. In all
events, Tenant will indemnify Landlord and its mortgagees in the manner
elsewhere provided from any release of hazardous substances on the Premises
occurring while Tenant is in possession or elsewhere due to any act or omission
of Tenant or persons claiming under Tenant (or any of their agents, employees,
independent contractors or invitees). (At the request of Landlord, Tenant will
confirm such indemnity directly with mortgagees.)
4.1.8 YIELD UP. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term,
Tenant (and all persons claiming under it) will, without any notice surrender
the Premises (including all Tenant Work and equipment and fixtures used in
connection with Tenant's occupancy except such items as Landlord may direct to
be removed, which items shall then be removed by Tenant and the Premises
restored to their pre-existing condition) and all keys (or security system
codes), remove all of its property not bolted or otherwise attached to the
Premises (and such property bolted or attached to the Premises as Landlord may
direct), and all Tenant's signs wherever located, in each case repairing damage
which results from such removal and restoring the Premises to a fully functional
and tenantable condition (including filling of all floor holes, removal of all
disconnected wiring back to junction boxes and replacement of all damaged
ceiling tiles). Tenant shall yield up the Premises broom clean
<PAGE> 70
LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
and in good order with allowance for reasonable wear and tear. Any property not
so removed will be deemed abandoned and may be removed and disposed of by
Landlord, and Tenant will pay to Landlord the cost of removal and disposition.
4.1.9 HOLDING OVER. If Tenant (or anyone claiming under Tenant) remains in
possession of any part of the Premises after the termination of the Term, then
Tenant will be deemed a tenant at sufferance, will thereafter pay prorated
Annual Base Rent at double the amount payable for the twelve month period
immediately preceding such termination, will pay all additional rent and will
perform all covenants and will also be liable for all damages, including
consequential damages.
4.1.10 ASSIGNMENT. Tenant will not assign this Lease, or sublet or license
any portion of the Premises (collectively, "transfer") without obtaining on each
occasion the prior written consent of Landlord. If the consideration, rent or
other charges payable to Tenant under any consent to transfer exceed the rent to
be paid hereunder (pro-rated based on floor area in the case of any occupancy of
less than the entire Premises), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional
rent, the amount of such excess when and as received. Tenant may deduct from
increase, the cost of any required Tenant fit up and associated brokerage.
Without limitation, any lump-sum payment or series of payments (including the
purchase of so-called leasehold improvements on account of any transfer) will be
deemed to be in excess of rent). Notwithstanding any consented to transfer of
this Lease, Tenant's (and any guarantor's) liability will remain direct and
primary. In the case of any requested consent, Tenant will deliver at the time
(i) a true and complete copy of the proposed instrument containing all of the
terms of the transfer, and (ii) a written agreement of the transferee agreeing
directly with Landlord jointly and severally with Tenant to observe all of the
terms of this Lease. Landlord may collect rent and other charges from such
transferee (and upon notice the transferee will pay the same directly to
Landlord) and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein. No consented to
transfer shall be deemed the acceptance of the transferee as a tenant or a
release of Tenant or any guarantor from direct and primary liability for this
Lease. Consent to any transfer will not relieve Tenant from obtaining consent to
any modification of the transfer or a further transfer, nor will Landlord's
consent alter the terms of this Lease, to which any transfer will always be
subject. The breach by Tenant of any covenant in this Section will be a default
for which there is no cure period. Tenant may assign lease to a directly related
entity of equal or greater worth with landlord's reasonable consent.
5.1 BUILDING SERVICES. Landlord will furnish, in addition to those services
in Exhibit B, the following, subject to the other provisions of this Lease as
outlined in Exhibit B.
5.1.1 LANDLORD'S REPAIR. Landlord will reasonably repair the foundations,
exterior walls, structural floors, non structural floors, plumbing, electrical,
roof, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, and common areas
(including elevators if any) of the Building insofar as such elements affect the
Premises; but in no event will Landlord repair glass, windows or doors of the
Premises if damaged by Tenant's negligence.
<PAGE> 71
LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
5.1.2 OFFICE IDENTIFICATION. Landlord will provide at Tenant's expense
Tenant's name on entry doors to the Premises, all to be in Building standard
graphics. If Office Directories and outdoor signs are provided they shall be in
Building standard graphics with the cost being shared by Tenant on the basis of
the percentage share stated in 1.1.
5.1.3 GROUNDS MAINTENANCE. Landlord will reasonably maintain the grounds
and parking areas adjacent to the Building, including snow removal.
5.1.4 ELEVATOR, HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING, WATER. Landlord will: (i)
provide, elevator service 24 hours each day. (ii) furnish heat and air
conditioning during the normal heating and cooling season on business days; and
(iii) provide hot and cold water for domestic purposes. If Tenant requires
additional air conditioning and/or electricity for business machines, meeting
rooms or other purposes, or because of occupancy or unusual electrical loads
beyond normal office use including lights, typewriters, personal computers and
coffee machines, and additional air conditioning units, chillers, condensers,
compressors, ducts, piping and other equipment will be installed and maintained
by Landlord at Tenant's sole cost, including a separate electrical meter, but
only to the extent that the same are compatible with the Building and its
mechanical systems. Landlord shall supply tenant electric for normal office use
including lights, typewriters, coffee machine and personal computers not
requiring additional air conditioning. Landlord may institute reasonable rules
for the conservation of energy.
5.2 INTERRUPTIONS. Landlord will not be liable in damages or by reduction
of rent for inconvenience or loss of business arising from its exercising any
rights or performing any duty, or on account of any delay described in Section
8.4; nor will the same give rise to a claim of constructive eviction. In case of
emergency, Landlord reserves the right to stop any service or utility when
necessary.
6.1 TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant will maintain comprehensive public liability
insurance naming Landlord and if requested Landlord's mortgagees, as additional
insureds in an amount at least equal to the amount set forth in Section 1.1.
Such insurance will provide that it will not be canceled, terminated or changed
except after at least 30 days prior written notice to Landlord (and its
mortgagees). The policy or certificates will be deposited with Landlord at the
beginning of the Term, and renewals will be so deposited not less than 30 days
prior to expiration. Any insurance carried by Tenant with respect to the
Premises will include provisions denying the insurer subrogation rights against
Landlord, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord for injury or loss
covered by its insurance.
6.2 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES. If through no act or neglect of
Tenant (or persons acting under Tenant) any part of the Premises are damaged by
fire or other insured casualty, then Landlord will proceed with diligence,
subject to then applicable laws and to insurance proceeds being received and
made available by mortgagees, to repair such damage, excluding any items which
Tenant is permitted to remove upon expiration (which items will be Tenant's
responsibility to repair.) If any substantial part (meaning more than 25% of
8
<PAGE> 72
LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
insurable value) of the Premises or the Building (even if not including any
portion of the Premises) are damaged by casualty, or if any casualty occurs to
the Premises during the last year of the Term and its repair will reasonably
cost in Landlord's opinion more than $10,000, then at Landlord's election the
Term of this Lease may be terminated by written notice to Tenant within six (6)
months following adjustment of the casualty loss. Tenant will be entitled to a
just abatement of Annual Base Rent so long as such damaged was not caused by its
(or such persons') act or neglect. If any mortgagee refuses without fault by
Tenant (or such persons) to permit insurance proceeds to be applied to repair of
the Premises and Landlord has not otherwise commenced such repair within six
months following adjustment of the casualty loss, then Tenant may until any such
replacement commences terminate this Lease by giving at least thirty days prior
written notice to Landlord. Except as provided in this paragraph, Tenant's
obligation to pay all rent and to perform all other terms of this Lease will not
be affected by any casualty.
6.3 EMINENT DOMAIN. If all or any substantial part of the Premises or the
Building (meaning in either case more than 25% of floor area) are taken by power
of eminent domain, then by written notice given to the other within six months
following such taking the Term of this Lease may be terminated at either
Landlord's or Tenant's election. If this Lease is not so terminated then
Landlord will within a reasonable time diligently restore what may remain of the
Premises (excluding any items which Tenant is permitted to remove upon
expiration) to a tenantable condition and Annual Base Rent will be equitably
adjusted.
7.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If Tenant fails to pay Annual Base Rent, additional
rent or any other sum when due and such default continues for ten days after
notice is given; or if more than two default notices are properly given in any
twelve month period, or if Tenant vacates substantially all of the Premises, or
if Tenant (or any transferee of Tenant) makes any transfer of the Premises in
violation of this Lease, or if a petition is filed by Tenant (or any transferee
or guarantor) for insolvency or for appointment of a receiver, trustee or
assignee or for adjudication, reorganization or arrangement under any bankruptcy
act or if any similar petition is filed against Tenant (or any transferee or
guarantor) and such petition is not dismissed within thirty days thereafter, or
if any representation or warranty made by Tenant is untrue in any material
respect, or if Tenant fails to perform any other covenant or condition hereunder
and such default continues longer than any period expressly provided for the
correction thereof (and if no period is expressly provided then for fifteen days
after notice is given, provided, however, that such fifteen day period shall be
reasonably extended in the case of a non-monetary default if the matter
complained of can be cured but the cure cannot be completed within such period
and Tenant begins promptly and thereafter diligently completes the cure; but if
such matters cannot be cured then there will be no cure period), then, and in
any such case, Landlord and its agents lawfully may, in addition to any remedies
for any preceding breach, immediately or at any time thereafter, without demand
or notice and with or without process of law, enter upon any part Premises in
the name of the whole or mail or deliver a notice of termination of the Term of
this Lease addressed to Tenant at the Premises or at any other address herein,
and thereby terminate the Term and repossess the Premises as of Landlord's
former estate. At Landlord's election such notice of termination
9
<PAGE> 73
LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
may be included in any notice of default. Upon such entry or mailing the Term
shall terminate, all executory rights of Tenant and all obligation of Landlord
will immediately cease, and Landlord may expel Tenant and all persons claiming
under Tenant and remove their effects without any trespass and without prejudice
to any remedies for arrears of rent or prior breach; and Tenant waives all
statutory and equitable rights to its leasehold (including rights in the nature
of further cure or redemption, if any). If any payment of Annual Base Rent,
additional rent, or other sum is not paid when due, then Landlord may at its
option in addition to all other remedies hereunder impose an administrative late
charge on Tenant equal to 5% of the amount in question, which late charge will
be due upon demand as additional rent.
Rent forgivenesses, allowances for (and/or Landlord expenses in designing and
constructing) Tenant initial finish work and leasehold improvements to ready the
Premises for Tenant's occupancy and the like (collectively "Tenant
Inducements"), if any, have been agreed to by Landlord as inducements for Tenant
faithfully to perform all of its obligations. For all purposes, upon the
occurrence of any default and the lapse of the applicable cure period, if any,
any Tenant Inducements shall be deemed void as of the date hereof as though such
had never been included, and the aggregate amounts (or value) thereof will be
deemed to be additional rent then immediately due. The foregoing will occur
automatically without any further notice by Landlord, whether or not the Term is
then or thereafter terminated and whether or not Tenant thereafter corrects such
default.
If the Term is terminated for default, the Tenant covenants, as an additional
cumulative obligation after such termination, to pay all of Landlord's
reasonable costs, including attorneys fees, related thereto and in collecting
amounts due and all reasonable expenses in connection with reletting, including
tenant inducements, brokerage commissions, fees for legal services, expenses of
preparing the Premise for reletting and the like ("Reletting Expenses"). It is
agreed that Landlord may (i) relet the Premises or part or parts thereof for a
term or terms which may be equal to, less than or exceed the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term, and may grant such tenant
inducements, including free rent, as Landlord in its sole discretion considers
advisable, and (ii) make such alterations to the Premises as Landlord in its
sole discretion considers advisable, and no failure to relet or to collect rent
under any reletting shall operate to reduce Tenant's liability. Any obligation
to relet imposed by law will be subject to Landlord's reasonable objectives of
developing its property in a harmonious manner with appropriate mixes of
tenants, uses, floor areas, terms and the like Landlord's Reletting expenses
together with all other sums provided for whether incurred prior to or after
such termination will be due upon demand.
If the Term of this Lease is terminated for default, then unless and until the
Landlord elects lump sum liquidated damages described in the next paragraph
below, Tenant covenants, as an additional cumulative obligation after any such
termination, to pay punctually to Landlord all the sums and perform all of its
obligations in the same manner as if the Term had not been terminated. In
calculating such amounts Tenant will be credited with the net proceeds of any
10
<PAGE> 74
LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
rent then actually received by Landlord from a reletting of the Premises after
deducting all sums to be paid by Tenant and not then paid.
If this Lease is terminated for default, then Tenant covenants, as an additional
cumulative obligation after termination, to pay forthwith to Landlord at
Landlord's election made by written notice at any time after termination, as
liquidated damages a single lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) all sums to
be paid by Tenant and not then paid at the time of such election, plus (ii) the
excess of all of the rent reserved for the residue of the Term (with additional
rent on account of Taxes and Operating Expenses deemed to increase 10% in each
year on a compounding basis) over all of the rent which Tenant shows by clear
and convincing evidence will be received on account of reletting the Premises
during such period, which rent will be reduced by reasonable projections of
vacancies and by Landlord's Reletting expenses to the extent not then paid to
Landlord.
7.2 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; JURY WAIVER. All rights and remedies of Landlord
will be cumulative. Landlord and Tenant each waive trial by jury in any summary
proceeding or in any action based on non-payment of rent; and Tenant further
agrees that it will not interpose any counterclaim or set-off in any such
proceeding.
7.3 EFFECT OF WAIVERS OF DEFAULT. Any consent or waiver by Landlord to any
act or omission which otherwise would be a default will only be done in writing
and will not be deemed to permit other similar acts or omissions. The failure to
seek redress for any default or the receipt of rent with knowledge of any
default will never be deemed a consent to or waiver of such default. Delivery of
keys or rent to Landlord following any default will not be deemed an acceptance
of surrender of the Premises or a waiver of the default. No acceptance by
Landlord of a lesser sum than the amount then due will be deemed to be other
than an account of the earliest installment of such amount due; nor shall any
endorsement on any check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
negotiate such check without prejudice to recovering the balance due.
7.4 LANDLORD'S CURING AND ENFORCEMENT. If any default by Tenant continues
after any applicable cure period, then Landlord without waiving its claim may
cure such default for the account of Tenant, and any cost incurred will be
reimbursed by Tenant, together with an administrative charge of fifteen per cent
of the amount thereof, on demand as additional rent. Tenant will pay on demand
as additional rent all costs, including such administrative charge and
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in enforcing this Lease. Without limiting
any of its other rights, any sum due will bear interest from the date due at one
and one-half per cent for each month (or ratable portion thereof) the same
remains unpaid.
7.5 LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. In no event will Landlord be in default unless
notice has been given to it and it fails to perform within thirty days
(provided, however, that such thirty day period will be reasonably extended if
Landlord begins curing within such period and diligently pursues, or if any
mortgagee notifies Tenant within such period that it intends to cure on behalf
of Landlord and thereafter diligently pursues such cure).
11
<PAGE> 75
LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
8.1 NOTICE. All notices will be in writing and will be deemed duly given if
mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed, if to Tenant, at the
Original Address of Tenant or such other address as Tenant shall have last
designated by notice in writing to Landlord and, if to Landlord, at the Original
Address of Landlord or such other address as Landlord shall have last designated
by notice in writing to Tenant. Any notice so sent will be deemed duly given on
the second business day following the say of such mailing.
8.2 QUIET ENJOYMENT. Upon Tenant's paying all rent and performing all
covenants, it may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises during the Term
without disturbance by Landlord, subject always to the terms of this Lease,
provisions of law and rights of record to which this Lease is or may become
subordinate.
8.3 LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Landlord will be liable only for
defaults occurring while it is owner of the fee of which the Premises are a
part. Tenant (and all persons claiming under Tenant) agrees to look solely to
Landlord's interest from time to time in the fee of which the Premises are a
part for satisfaction of any claim or recovery of any judgment from Landlord; it
being agreed that neither Landlord nor any trustee, beneficiary, partner,
officer, director, employee or agent of Landlord will every be personally or
individually liable to Tenant (or such persons). In no event will Landlord ever
be liable to Tenant (or such persons) for indirect or consequential damages.
8.4 EXCUSABLE DELAY. In any case where either party is required to do any
act (other than the payment of Annual Base Rent, additional rent or any other
sum), delays resulting from war, civil commotion, fire flood or other casualty,
labor difficulties, unavailability of labor, materials, equipment, energy or
utility services, unusually severe weather, or other causes beyond such party's
reasonable control will not be counted in determining the time during which such
act is to be completed.
8.5 APPLICABLE LAW AND CONSTRUCTION. This Lease may be executed in
counterpart copies and will be construed as a sealed instrument under the laws
of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If any provision is to any extent be
invalid, the remainder will not be affected. Other than contemporaneous
instruments executed and delivered of even date if any, this Lease contains all
of the agreements between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Premises and
supersedes all prior dealings. This Lease may be amended only by an instrument
in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant. The enumeration of specific examples
of a general provision will not be construed as a limitation of the general
provision. Unless a party's approval or consent is required by its terms not to
be unreasonably withheld, such approval or consent may be withheld in the
party's sole discretion. If Tenant is granted any extension or other option,
time is of the essence and the exercise thereof must be unconditional. The
submission of a form of this Lease or a summary of its terms will not constitute
an offer, and the parties will only be bound when this Lease is executed and
delivered by both. Within one week of either party's request, each agree in
favor of the other,
12
<PAGE> 76
LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
to execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing certifying as to
matters under this Lease.
8.7 SECURITY DEPOSIT. On execution, Tenant will pay the Security Deposit
amount specified in Section 1.1. The Security Deposit may be mingled with other
funds and no fiduciary relationship will be created, nor will Landlord be liable
to pay interest thereon. If Tenant defaults then Landlord may, but will not be
required, to apply the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to cure the
default, and Tenant will reinstate such Security Deposit to the original amount
upon demand. Within 30 days after the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term the Security Deposit, to the extent not applied, will be returned to the
Tenant.
9.1 BROKERS. Tenant warrants to Landlord that it has not dealt with any
broker (other than Landlord's Agent and the person identified as the Broker in
Section 1.1, if any) in connection with the Premises, and agrees to indemnify
Landlord from any breach of this warranty. The fees of Landlord's Agent (and any
Broker named in Section 1.1) will be paid by Landlord.
10.1 LANDLORD'S FINANCING. Tenant agrees that its rights will be
subordinate to present or future mortgages and to all advances thereunder and
all modifications, renewals, replacements, extensions and consolidations
thereof. Tenant agrees that any mortgagee may at its option elect to subordinate
to this Lease. Until a mortgagee forecloses Landlord's equity of redemption, no
mortgagee will be liable for failure to perform any of Landlord's obligations
(and such mortgagee will thereafter be liable only after it succeeds to and
holds Landlord's fee interest and then only as limited herein). No mortgagee
will be bound by any payment of rent more than one month in advance. Tenant will
if requested by Landlord or any mortgagee give notice of any default by Landlord
to such mortgagee; and Tenant agrees that such mortgagee will have a separate,
consecutive reasonable cure period of no less than thirty days (to be reasonably
extended in the same manner as Landlord's cure period) following Landlord's cure
period during which such mortgagee may, but need not, cure such default. If
Landlord assigns this Lease or the rents, whether the assignment is conditional
in nature or otherwise such assignment will not be deemed an assumption by the
assignee of any obligations of Landlord; but the assignee will be responsible
only for Landlord's defaults which occur after it succeeds to and only while it
holds Landlord's fee interest in the Premises. The provisions of this Section
will be self-operative; nevertheless, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and
deliver any subordination or other instruments conforming to
13
<PAGE> 77
LEASE BETWEEN: CONCORD OFFICE REALTY ASSOCIATES &
CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. DATED: 9/5/96
these provisions whenever requested by Landlord or any mortgagee, and further
agrees that its failure to do so within ten days after demand will be default
without further cure period.

CAPITOL MULTIMEDIA, INC. SELLS SELECTED MULTIMEDIA ASSETS TO
DAVIDSON & ASSOCIATES, INC., A DIVISION OF CUC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
CONCORD, MASSACHUSETTS, APRIL 18, 1997 -- Capitol Multimedia, Inc. (NASDAQ:
CDIM, CDIMW, or Capitol) announced today that it has sold selected multimedia
assets to Davidson & Associates, Inc., a division of CUC International, Inc.
(NYSE: CU) for approximately $2.5 million in cash. The assets that were sold
include art, animation and audio production capabilities located in St.
Petersburg, Russia, and Concord, Mass. Capitol has retained all rights to its 14
multimedia CD-ROM products currently on the market, three new CD-ROM titles that
are near completion, all CD-I products, all software tools and engines, and
software development capabilities in the U.S. and Russia.
As part of the transaction, Mr. Igor Razboff will continue to serve as Chairman
of Capitol's Board of Directors but will resign from his CEO position at
Capitol. Razboff will become a Vice President of CUC Software, one of the
largest PC consumer software groups in the world, which includes Davidson &
Associates, Knowledge Adventure, Sierra On-Line and Blizzard Entertainment.
Razboff will ensure that the capabilities of Capitol acquired by CUC Software
will be used effectively across all CUC Software brands. Razboff and his team
will remain in Concord.
Ms. Luda Kopeikina, President of Capitol, will assume overall responsibility for
the management of Capitol, including its recently acquired supply chain
management software company, Client Server Technologies, Inc. (CSTI).
According to Luda Kopeikina, "This transaction represents the second step in our
strategy to improve the Capitol's performance. There is a significant excess
production capacity in the multimedia market today. We expect this condition to
<PAGE> 2
continue over the next several years, which has prevented us from generating the
growth expected by our shareholders. Our latest financial results reflect this
unfortunate market condition. The sale of our production capacity will
significantly improve Capitol's financial condition and provide CUC Software
with valuable quality and cost-competitive internal development capabilities. We
believe that this is a win-win transaction. It improves our already strong cash
position. In addition, we expect to generate profitable royalty streams from our
released and upcoming products."
According to Chris McLeod, CEO of CUC Software, "We have worked closely with
Capitol Multimedia in the past and have been impressed with the quality of their
work. We are excited to have these production capabilities available for CUC
Software products and to work closely with this group of talented and creative
people."
Capitol Multimedia, Inc. is well known for its critically-acclaimed and
award-winning edutainment software, including the "Magic TalesO" (six
international folk tales) and StoryQuestO (two adventure games) and
ActionLearningO series of products.
